How many puffs in an albuterol inhaler?

How many puffs are in a typical albuterol inhaler?

Most albuterol metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) are sold as either 60-dose or 200-dose inhalers. A “dose” here usually means one measured puff actuated from the inhaler.

How can you tell the number of puffs on your specific inhaler?

Look at the label on the canister or the box for wording like “metered doses,” “actuations,” or “doses,” and a number such as:
- 60 doses (common for smaller units)
- 200 doses (common for larger units)

Does the number of puffs change with strength (e.g., 90 mcg)?

The number of puffs (60 vs 200 doses) is generally tied to the inhaler size/manufacturing pack, not only the strength (like 90 mcg per puff). The label will still show the total metered doses.

What if my inhaler label doesn’t list “doses” or I can’t find the number?

Many MDIs include a dose count on the product packaging, and some have a dose counter window. If you tell me the exact brand name and the dose strength written on the label (for example, “albuterol sulfate HFA 90 mcg”), I can help you figure out what total dose count that specific product typically comes in.
